In a desolate, sun-scorched corner of the world, an elderly woman has come to see her beloved grandson. He is a young officer stationed at a remote military outpost. With the enemy just beyond the compound, she wanders the barracks, observing the routines of military life, before making a sudden trip into the outlying countryside.

Film-making that is still so soviet in style and pace... The film shows a glimpse of life in the military and the occupation in Chechnya. It tackles a peacenik approach of "nobody-wants-war" attittude with a dash of family relationships thrown in. Actually a very light treatment on a serious subject like the the 2nd Chechnyan War!
